Biodynamic Agriculture - What Is It?

Blog - Featured Products

Monday, 02 August 2010 15:51

Ever wonder what Biodynamic Agriculture is all about?  According to Demeter USA, Biodynamic Agriculture is:
 
"...an ecological farming system that views the farm as a self-contained and self-sustaining organism. Emphasis is placed on the integration of crops and livestock, recycling of nutrients, soil maintenance, and the health and well-being of the animals, the farmer, the farm, and the earth: all are integral parts that make up the whole." 
 
Kimberton Whole Foods buys biodynamically grown produce whenever available/possible.  Some examples are:
 
Products from Seven Stars Farm
Hampstead Tea *NEW at Kimberton Whole Foods*
Produce from the Kimberton CSA
